Currently all the way in romania, I haven't got access to WoW. However, I have been thinking, and considering different things to occur with roleplaying e.t.c.

I'm not too sure about Miolka at the moment, in terms of where she is heading, and what will happen when she hits endgame... I just havent figured it out much (although, the roleplay story might suggest otherwise).

Now being on the summer holidays, I will have more time for blogging, and also Miolka (yay). I should have her zoom through the levels, as at the moment, she is easy going with the killing...

Roleplay still appeals to me with Miolka, but I'm not sure if it is best to be doing alot of roleplaying (possibly any atall) when I'm trying to level her. Any thoughts would be wonderful,

Alittle about me...I orriginally played WoW from the very beginning, I started with a hunter in vanilla, thenwhen BC came out,I rolled a druid, because I was tired of being squishy and causingproblems. I became a resto druid when I hit 70. this was great, and I massively enjoyed mycharacter Vralk. When WotLK came out, I kept leveling Vralk, leveling her as balance, sothat when I hit 80,I atleast had some SP and other caster stats... (I leveled to 70 asferal, and was stuck with AGI/STR on a tree,I raised a few eyebrows) Now, havingleveled a Death Knight (I know, Gasp) to level 80, and having had a successful raidingtime with all three roles, I decided that I would do some roleplaying!

And so, I wrote up a little story for my character, and then Miolka Was born.

She will be the topic of the blogg, which will be all about her, her roleplaying experience,and of course, everything else I feel relevant (and abit thats not)She's a Dwarf Rogue, and will probably be leveling subtelty because of the story behindher.

This will be my first roleplaying experience, and I intend to get the full use out of itfrom the Sha'tar EU realm.

Anyway, Her story... Its a pretty large Wall of Text, and I'm sorry for any crits.

Miolka IronstoutDwarf Subtlety Rogue

Miolka ran away from home when she saw her father, a once humble dwarf miner, sellinghis wares to a spectre. The enraged Miolka ran as fast as she could, taking with heronly the clothes on her back, a cloak,and a small trinket her mother gave her at theage of four. She then found that she had to steal and take to survive. By the age ofeight human years, Miolka had become highly adept at petty theft, pick pocketing, andlock picking. At the age of 14, she decided to find some form of weapon, and train atfighting. Starting on the poor boars in Coldridge Valley, and moving on to the Yeti'sto the north, and slowly moving on to more violent and dangerous creatures. Miolkadecided finally that she was ready to fight another gnome, or some other more skilfulperson. The use of force was only ever used when the victim of theft decided that theywouldn't let her go. Never had Miolka taken a life before, only incapacitated them toallow an escape, when she was 28, she took her first life. Miolka then travelled backto Coldridge Valley to ask what to do from the one person she truly trusted, SolmHargrin. Solm then trainer Miolka beyond the skills of a common thief, and Miolka fromthat day forth was a rogue. Miolka Ironstout, later that year, just before the newsnowfall arrived, was awarded her second dagger, and told to travel to SI:7 inStormwind Because Tyrion had received news of her skills in stealth and thieving, andhad requested her presence in order do discern any possible use to the Alliance thiscould be.

So, Miolka, only 29 by the time she reached Stormwind, was now an operative for theorganisation known as SI:7. She was commissioned as a scout. After a large amount ofsuccess discerning the purpose of the Ashenvale logging camp put in place by the Hordeof the barrens, Miolka was trained in the skill of maces, to be used whenever sherequired a more, unsubtle approach to gathering information. She took highly to thesenew weapons, quickly adapting to their size and weight.

After seven more snowfalls (at roughly 36 human years), Miolka ventured into theOutlands, where she would aid the expedition there. She quickly found, that howeverbeautifully efficient the two maces she carried were, they would never be as usefulas a pair of blades when fighting against giants and demons up to ten times her size.Now donning a pair of blades, she continued to gather information about the Hordeventure into outlands. She quickly found and reported that the Horde was not thebiggest worry to the Alliance in outlands, but instead, that the scourge and thelegions of demons would oppose more threat to the Alliance. Now with a new task athand, to discern the purpose of the legions in outland, and whether or not they wouldbe of any issue if they arrived in Azeroth, she decided that the only reasonable courseof action was to send a few brave soldiers into the heart of Outlands, and seek outthe head of the corruption. Instead of finding the source of all hatred, Miolka foundthe city of Shattrach, she had no prior knowledge of the city, and neither did her men.The men quickly ran off, and dissipated into the crowds, off to find out what this newcity offered for such trained men as themselves. Still a proud operative of SI:7 Miolkawould not be so easily taken over by the lures of a new city. After weeks of searchingfor her men inside this new city, Miolka heard word of Alliance heroes, severing thehead of the legions, and crushing the armies at the Black Temple. Miolka was ashamed.She was meant to be that person, and she was meant to be the one to destroy the forcesat the temple. She promptly ran to the centre of Shattrach, and immediately jumpedthrough a portal to Stormwind to report the news. The operatives at SI:7 had alreadyreceived news of such events, and were awaiting Miolka's return.

She was then ordered to go to Northrend, where the influences of ancient spirits wereaffecting the dwarfs near to a ravine. Many dwarfs had already gone insane, and Miolkawas to find out why. Unknowing of whether or not these forces would have any effecton her, Miolka snuck into the cove where these dwarfs slept, and hid there, observingthem, only to find that it was not long gone spirits or spectres that were affectingthem, it was instead the Vrykul. Miolka then returned to the Alliance camp, reportingthe news, outraged at such an atrocity. She soon disappeared from the camp, and wasfound weeks later by a hunter, under half a foot of snow, just outside Gjlaerborn,after an attempt to kill as many Vrykul as possible. In her rage, Miolka had becomeunsubtle, and struck poorly on one of the first vrykul she came across. The toweringVrykul warrior batted her aside into the snow with his towering shield. Having beentreated by the hunter for her wounds and frostbite, Miolka's rage had subsided. Havingdecided to move on from the Howling Fjord, She left for the heart of Dragonblight, toseek the aid of the Wyrmrest Accord.

The mighty dragons did not immediately accept Miolka for what she was, they saw her asa crude tool used by the Alliance for the sole purpose of bettering themselves againstthe Horde. After much toil and working to prove the Wyrmrest wrong, she aided themfinally at the Wrath Gate, where she witnessed terrible things, the slaughter of herfellow Alliance, and the merciless killing of the Horde. Having seen this killing,Miolka had found a respect for the Horde, watching them die alongside the Alliance knights,without the intent of killing each other, Miolka was redeemed in the eyes of the Wyrmrest.She was then sent to Dalaran by Alexstra for the purpose of seeking out more informationfrom the Kirin'tor about any further influences of the Vrykul. After a scholar had informedher that the vrykul had made a move to both aid the defence of Icecrown, and to aid theawakened forces that lay beneath Ulduar, she was outraged. Seeking to aid the goblins atK8,she quickly flew there, easily finding ways in which her 'skills' could be put to use.She aided the goblins until she could find no further actions which would help. Then, withnews of a large Vrykul village to the north, she set off. She slowly killed the workers atthe mines; this aided her greatly, as she intended to unsettle their new ways of life,instead of simply going on a killing rampage. She successfully managed to ruin a largeproportion of the operations at the mine, hindering their mining sufficiently to crush thevrykul way of life. Returning to Dalaran satisfied of her bloodlust, she received a messagefrom SI:7, informing her to travel to the Alliance sky vessel to aid them in their effortsin Icecrown. She then travelled to the vessel, to find it in utter turmoil after a recentHorde bombardment. She was quickly tasked with the disruption of the scourge, and theirsaronite mining operation. She was sent first to the Saronite mines in Icecrown in anattempt to free some of the prisoners there, only to find most of them insane, and corruptedby the saronite and their unholy watchers. Having left the cave, knowing that she wouldnot be able to help any of them, she headed to the vrykul village to again 'quell thepopulation'. She did so effectively, the population soon stopped growing, and soon enough,was shrinking, one by one. Miolka found many others who were helping to control thepopulation,and was greatly thankful for them. Having shrunk the vrykul populous enough,Miolka returned to the sky vessel, to find it in far better shape than it was when sheleft.

She was informed that her feats and endeavours had made an impression with the argentcrusade, and that they had summoned her to the Argent Tournament grounds. Miolkaimagined a large towering coliseum, gladiators in shinning armour, wild beasts andwilder orcs fighting to the death in a sandy pit. When she arrived, she was muchdisappointed. The Coliseum was far from built, and the argent crusade seemed far fromworrying. Never the less, she quickly learnt to ride a ram, soon moving on to theStormwind horse, and the nightsaber of the elves. Not long after, she was worthy torepresent the entire Alliance in the Argent Tournament. She then found her way back toDalaran, dropping into a vrykul village on the way to satisfy yet more rage. Miolkacan now be found wandering the streets of Dalaran, often Stormwind, and sometimesShattrach. She will normally be dressed in dark attire, and carrying two short blades.Often however, she can be found in a bar, completely drunk, challenging anyone whodares to a fight, in which she will wildly swing maces, often knocking flat manypeople before collapsing on the floor in a fit of laughter. Miolka will still regularlyvisit a vrykul town to kill, simply because she can, and because she still needs tosatisfy her bloodlust. Soon after news of one of Miolka's rampages in a bar, where twomen were killed, and over 2000 gold worth of damages were dealt, SI:7 discharged herfrom their services. Now alone in Dalaran, at the age of 43 winters, she stumbles aroundDalaran half drunk for the majority of the time.
